When a pool turns green, it needs more than a quick skim. We assess the water and filtration, then work through treatment and cleanup in stages.
A familiar reason homeowners call us
Many customers come to Calmer Pools with green water or substantial algae after a previous pool company let the care slip or stopped showing up. We help restore the pool and discuss how to keep it cared for afterward. The before-and-after photo above shows green-pool treatment from our existing work; treatment needs and timing vary by pool.
Start with the cause
We check the pool’s condition, water chemistry, and filter operation. Effective filtration is essential to clearing the water, so equipment problems may need attention as part of the plan.
From green to blue
The first stage focuses on treating the algae, brushing the pool, and cleaning the filter. The work is based on what your pool needs—not a one-size-fits-all promise.
From cloudy to clear
We continue with filtration, filter cleaning, vacuuming, and water balancing. You receive an email summary at each step so you can follow the progress.
How long will it take?
Treatment is a staged process that may take several days. The starting condition, filtration, and weather affect the timeline. We’ll assess the pool before giving you a realistic expectation.
A quote based on your pool
Contact us with your pool details for treatment pricing. Equipment repairs, if needed, are assessed separately. Once the pool is clear, weekly service can help keep it on track.
Questions about green pool treatment
Can you treat a pool with a broken filter?
The filter needs to work properly for treatment to be effective. We check its condition and discuss any equipment work that may be needed.
Will one visit be enough?
Green-pool cleanup often requires multiple steps and visits. The number depends on the condition of the water and the filtration system.
Will I receive progress updates?
Yes. Our green-pool process includes email summaries at each step.
Is there a fixed treatment price?
We’ll quote for the pool’s condition and required work after discussing the details with you.
Can I switch to weekly service afterward?
Yes. Ask about our weekly pool service once the treatment is complete.
